Windows 7: Windows 7 RC Wont Install Properly...PLEASE HELP!!!

Haha, well 6-7am has been my bed time for a long time now, need to change that asap. I'm in the bios, same screen the other guy put up. I tried safe mode but u can't use it since Windows isn't done installing!!!

Ok so I just got a new computer, put in the 64-bit RC, it told me what to do, I followed it all and then it said something like "that's all the info we need for now, will start installation and computer will restart serveral times". So it did what it did and then after a couple restarts it stayed off and my monitors power button then just kept flashing and so did my computer, it stayed off for about 20 minutes. Then I pushed the power button and turned it back on and then it loaded up and went to a black screen where it said in the bottom right corner "Windows 7 Evaluation copy. Build 7100" and it stayed on the screen for about 2 minutes and the computer then shut down on its own. Then I reboored it again and it went back to the same screen accept its been on there ever since, about 30 minutes now. What is going on? Even when I take the disk out it shows the same screen when booted up. Somebody please help, thanks!!!

ok....forget the bios. you need to boot up and keep pressing f8 until you get the boot menu that someone posted earlier. when you get it up, choose repair. you will need your windows 7 disc in the drive

If you have an Asus motherboard you should be able to get into the bios by
Pressing the DEL key as it is booting up .

Same for the Gigabyte brand.

Well a clean install would solve this likely. Repair may not, thus making this a longer trip.

Everyone has their own opinions and ways of doing things I suppose.

...... Why did it just tell me that I would 'be opted to post a poll'?
